New Every Morning

God fills our world with colour on a daily basis: the flash of a bird’s wing, green lawns, the soft blush of a pink rose. I captured this sunset at one of the beaches in Christchurch last week. The colours were absolutely amazing and the whole area was bathed in a pink haze. I just happened to be in the right area at the right time. It was a fleeting beauty, only lasting ten minutes, but that’s the wonder of God. Just as His mercies are new every morning, so too are the glories of creation. Each day brims with hope and promise; an adventure unfolding, the excitement of not knowing what will be next. This sunset reminded me to look for God in everything, everywhere. I’d like to encourage you to do the same.

About Me

I am happily married to Kevin and have five wonderful children. Two of these are married and I have the best daughter-in-law and son-in-law I could wish for. I was born and raised in Zimbabwe and later spent 15 years in South Africa before moving to New Zealand in 2006. I work as a freelance writer and novelist and try to bring honour to God through all I do and write. When I'm not sitting at my computer, I enjoy photography and taking my dog for a walk. My husband and I pastor a church and music is also an important part of my life. My favourite instrument is piano but I also play guitar and bass guitar in our church music team. I'm a self-confessed travel addict and spend a fair amount of time wandering around New Zealand and further afield.
